Sparkling Strawberry-Mint Limeade

I freakin’ love a good summer cocktail….and pretty much anything that contains champagne. When I saw this in my latest issue of Cooking Light magazine, I seriously couldn’t wait to dive in and try this deliciousness. This was such a fun cocktail to make and can be completely made virgin with some sparkling club soda for all you mommies-to-be!

And ladies was this not the perfect weekend for summer cocktails?? It was absolutely gorgeous! I spent it with my girlfriends who hosted a Stella and Dot jewelry party (serious obsession by the way) and it was just fabulous. I certainly purchased enough stuff to last me a lifetime, but their pieces are timeless and go with pretty much anything in your wardrobe.

Oh and my other (obvious) favorite thing about summer is all the fresh fruit that’s in season. The abundance of bright red strawberries, sweet blueberries and juicy watermelon (among other things) completely take over my kitchen and, um, definitely make it A LOT easier to rock my bikini by the pool.Just sayin.And I seriously would not mind sitting poolside with one of these right now. But I suppose paying the bills is essential. Hmm I wonder if they would notice if I had this in a sippy cup?

This drink sounds really good, and great to make a big pitcher to serve at a summer party! Happy almost birthday. I remember when I was 28, 29 and 30 I felt so OLD but I was so wrong. My 30’s were so much better than my 20’s!

I made this drink for a lingerie shower and it was fantastic!!! Would you mind if I linked this recipe to my blog http://www.smartsassysisters.com? I’m doing a post on Friday about how to throw a clean delicious healthy party! Let me know:)
